If they play up they get a stern shake by the cheeks, if they continue they get a kick up the arse. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When training i try to be less physical with them for the reasons you have mentioned. But when you have a fully trained dog just acting up then you have to disipline it.....imo..

Simoman 110 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 nine times out of ten a physical correction isn't required with MOST dogs, depends on the individual temperament, although saying that my wheaten brings out a side of me that reaches for the hammer........

DogMagic 461 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 No dog needs to be hit. If you hit a dog then the dog wont trust or like you and as has been said its recall goes right down hill and so does every other part of training. If the dog doesnt like you it wont want to please you and so it will ignore your commands and stay out the way so it doesnt get another clump etc etc. If they know what the command "come here" or "sit" or "leave it" means and they want to please you you will never need to hit a dog. The worse mine get is a hand around their chin to force eye contact and a stern voice making it clear im pissed off with them then back on lead for the rest of the walk. They get the message remarkably quickly! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe.....sure you can carry about a plastic bottle about full of stones and shake it when the dog does wrong......i just kick it up the arse. Seems to be working....

If it needs a shake or a kick up the arse it gets 1......And i can assure you my dogs 'like' me for the simple fact i am the one who feeds them. Before we all go daft here i'm not talking about beating the dog to a pulp, i'm talking about a kick up the arse for its troubles. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
